What has happened to the world?

Yesterday I go in to a Wal-Mart. I ask the sporting goods guy the following question. . .

"Do you have any Cane poles?"

Response? "Yes sir they are right there on that end cap."

I go look. . . . What do I find? Collapsable Synthetic fishing poles. . . . I go back to him.

"No I mean CANE poles, made from CANE!"

"Made from cane? What's that?"

I then realized this guy is probably only about ten years younder than me. . . . . . . WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE WORLD?!?!?!?!?!

All I wanted was to get a few cane poles (Even the ones with the ferrules (sp?) would do) to give to some boys for Christmas. . . . . .

Sheesh. . . . I will be 31 next week, and I feel like I am living in ancient history. . . . .

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
